Bio-energitics is the study of energy changes [ release or utilization ] in biochemical reactions.
Reactions where energy is released are called exergonic reactions.
Reactions where energy is utilized are
called endergonic reactions.
Free energy [G] Gibb's change in free energy [ G] negative positive zero Standard free energy [ Go] Enthalpy [ H] Entropy [ S]
Free energy [G] denotes the fraction total energy in the system available to do the work .
Gibbs change in free energy [ G] It is the portion of free energy that is useful to do the work.
Standard free energy change [ G0 ] is
the free energy change under standard conditions [ pH 7 and 1M\ L concentration]
Gibbs Change in free energyGibbs Change in free energy [ [ G G ]] predicts whether a reaction is favorable or not predicts whether a reaction is favorable or not and the energy available to do work. and the energy available to do work.

Enthalpy [H]Enthalpy [H] is the measure of the change in the is the measure of the change in the heat content of the system i.e. energy released or heat content of the system i.e. energy released or absorbed. absorbed.
Entropy [S]Entropy [S] It is the fraction of enthalpy that is not It is the fraction of enthalpy that is not available to do the work. it denotes the randomness of available to do the work. it denotes the randomness of the products and reactants.the products and reactants.
A biochemical reaction depends on the change in free energy , Enthalpy , and Entropy.
G = H - T S [T= absolute temperature in Kelvin]
ATP is the energy currency of the cell ATP on hydrolysis yields -7.3 Kcal
ATP ADP + Pi - 7.3 Kcal
ATP is utilized for Active transport Nerve conduction Muscle contraction synthetic reactions
1.Pyro-phosphates -------------- ATP 2.Acyl phosphates -------------- 1,3-BPG 3.Enol phosphates -------------- PEP 4.phosphoguanides ------------- creatine –P 5.Thio - esters ------------- Acyl-co A the high energy bond in these compounds is called as

The electrons flow uni directionally from one carrier to the other in ETC.
The carriers are reduced when they accept the electrons and get oxidized when they donate to the other carrier.
the reduced and oxidized forms of the same carrier are referred as redox pairs.
Redox potential is the tendency of the redox pair to donate or accept electrons.
electrons always flow from negative to positive redox potential.
REDOX PAIRS REDOX POTENTIAL
1. NADH\NAD -0.32 2. FADH\FAD -0.12 3. H2O\O2 +0.82
The ETC is arranged in the increasing order of their redox potentials.
All the enzymes of biological oxidation belongs to the major class of oxido-reductases. They are classified as follows 1.Oxidases 2.Oxygenases 3.Hydroperoxidases 4.dehydrogenases
Class Oxido reductases:
1. Oxidases Eg: Cytochrome oxidase
2. Oxygenases
Mono-oxygenases Eg: Cyt P450
Dioxygenases Eg: Tryptophan dioxygenases
3. Hydroperoxidases
Peroxidases Eg: Glutathione peroxidase
Catalases
4. Dehydrogenases
Aerobic Eg: Xanthine oxidase
Anaerobic:
a. NAD linked
b. FAD linked
c. FMN linked
1.Oxidases ; these enzymes catalyze the removal of hydrogen from the substrates.
Oxygen acts as acceptor of hydrogen forming water.
E.g. cytochrome -oxidase ,MAO A H2 +1\2 O2 ---------- A + H2O
2.Oxygenases 1. Mono-oxygenases [ mixed function oxidase] incorporates one oxygen atom into the substrate other is reduced to water. E.g. cyt-P450 ,tyrosine hydroxylase etc.
A-H + O2 + BH2 AOH + H2O +B
2. di-oxygenases incorporate both oxygen atoms into the substrate.
E.g. Tryptophan dioxygenase A H + O2 AOOH
3. Hydroperoxidases act on H2O2.
1. peroxidase ; glutathione peroxidase AH2 +H2O2 ---------2H2O + A
2.catalase; 2H2O2 ----------------2H2O +O2
4.Dehydrogenases Catalyze the removal of hydrogen from the
substrate. Based on the type of H2 acceptor they are
classified as follows
1. aerobic dehydrogenases oxygen is the acceptor of hydrogen.
2. anaerobic dehydrogenases coenzymes act as acceptors of hydrogen NAD+ linked dehydrogenases
NADP+ linked dehydrogenases FAD- linked dehydrogenases
Aerobic dehydrogenases These are flavoproteins and the product formed is
mostly hydrogen peroxide AH2 + O2 -------------A + H2O2
E.g. xanthine oxidase, glucose oxidase etc
Anaerobic dehydrogenases hydrogen acceptor s are co-enzymes. When the substrate is oxidized the co-enzyme is reduced
AH2 + B ----------------A + BH2
Transport of electrons from reduced substrates to O2 is called as ETC.
Site: Inner mitochondrial membrane Components: 1.Nicotinamide nucleotides [NADH + H+ / NAD+] 2.Flavo-proteins [FADH2 / FAD+].
3.Ubiquinone: CoQ. 4. Cytochromes: b, c1, c, a, a3.
ETC components are arranged in four
complexes in the increasing order of
their redox potentials from -4.2 for
(NADH + H+) to +0.82 for O2.
Complex I: NADH + H+----- CoQ reductase.
II: Succinate ----- CoQ reductase.
III: Co-Q ------- Cyt C reductase.

P;O ratio is the number of P atoms utilized To synthesize ATP for one atom of O2 oxidized
P;O ratio for NADH + H+ is ‘3’ [three sites of ATP synthesis]
P;O ratio for FADH2 is ‘2’ [two sites of ATP synthesis]
1. Chemical coupling: Generation of ATP at substrate level.2. Conformational coupling: Conformational changes in the molecules
in mitochondrial membrane leads to ATP generation.3. Chemi -osmotic theory: The proton
gradient generated during electron transfer is utilized for ATP synthesis.
